Plus, the salad underneath makes for such a balanced and delicious meal. Even for those of you who might not be skilled in the kitchen, this recipe is definitely a must-make! Enjoy.

Instructions
- Prepare the salmon by generously seasoning both sides of the salmon filet with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium high heat.
- Add filets skin side down and cook it mostly on this side (about 8 minutes) You’ll know it’s almost finished when it reaches an internal temperature of 145F. In the last 10-20 seconds of cooking, flip the salmon over and quickly sear the other side.
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the sauce. Finely mince the dill and parsley and add it to a small bowl with the lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the salmon finishes, plate. Add salad greens of your choice, the quinoa, peas, and sprouts to a large bowl. Top with the salmon and drizzle on the dressing.
